As usual, I think people are simply cheating themselves while taking these quizzes by consulting Google. There is no way you can ever convince me the three quarters of the people who took this quiz knew the Federated States of Micronesia. I just refuse to believe it.
F.S. Micronesia was the first one I got. If you took the `Federated States´ out of this quiz, then not that many people would get it right without consulting Google.
Haha, same. I do the four with the Us: Nauru, Palau, Vanuatu, Tuvalu; then the "Islands": Marshall and Solomon; then "Two with five letters with an O": Tonga, Samoa; then "Two with multiple Is": Fiji, Kiribati. Then you just need to remember the (relatively) bigger ones: Papua New Guinea, Micronesia, New Zealand, and Australia. And you're home free.
Take a look at the "Most Popular Quizzes" list on the front page of the site. I guarantee you, no matter when you check, the top quiz will be "Countries of the World." On any given day, check the "New and Popular Quizzes" sidebar on a random page. I can pretty much guarantee you that "Countries of the World" will be on the list, probably near the top.
What I'm saying is that the average Jetpunker is not the same as the average person on the street, particularly when it comes to geography, and ESPECIALLY when it comes to the nations of the world.
DaveH: very mean-spirited of you to refuse to accept that other people know something you don't. Has your life been a series of disappointments, all of which you blame on someone else? How sad.
This is so misleanding. Micronesia should be under letter M. otherwise this test is missing Federal republic of Germany and other official state names starting with F
Micronesia should not be in this quiz. This is countries beginning with 'F' ... if you're going to include Micronesia, you may as well include the Federation of Russia.
What is Micronesia doing there? Doesnt make sense. Are we counting for the full official name or the name by the country is known? Because the offical name of Brazil is Federative Republic of Brazil, Germany is Federative Republic of Germany. And the list goes on Federal Republic of Nigeria, Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, etc.
I immediately thought Africa and Oceania - as a result I spent two minutes working my way through West Africa in my head, gave a passing thought to Asia and completely forgot both Finland and France.
seriously sad these days that finland is more comonly guessed than france... really tells ou what they are teching in school thhese days.... LOL i remeber when... it was tot... eveyrwhere tshis is so badc,..
Why do you think we choose to use F. S. Micronesia and not just Micronesia? Are we just stupid? Or is there some logic? Take the time to think about it and let me know.
Crazy that Finland is more frequently guessed than France, and that despite "Federated States of" being given, that people are getting FSM less than any of the other 3.
For anyone mad about the inclusion of FS Micronesia, think of it like this. While we certainly call the USA "America", "America" is also used to refer to the landmass of the Americas. The country's common name is "United States of America" instead of America because it helps to denote its only certain parts of the American Landmass, ie the States. Same thing with Micronesia. Micronesia is the name of the Region the FSM is a part of. Its common name is "Federated States of Micronesia" and not just "Micronesia" because it's not all of Micronesia. It's just the four Federated States IN the region of Micronesia that make up FS Micronesia.
But I can't lie, forgot France the first time
(Ha! Beat you to it, JackintheBox!)

Not going to lie, though, my Geography sucks, so I likely wouldn't have got it even when accounting for other countries xD

• Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia

Sorry, but it simply doesn't make sense, unless it's a quiz of official countries names!
